AN: Hello! As you may have noticed, an idiot that I trusted made my FF known to the whole world, including people that hate me… A lot. So, just don't mind the flames. Sorry for the lateness, my beta's been having mid-terms now that mine are over…On the other hand, I just posted a second story, which unfortunately doesn't have a beta currently due to her time limitations. It's called A World In Chaos, and is about World War Three.

Okay, you guys know the drill! If you don't have anything nice or constructive to say, shut your trap. 谢谢！

Chapter 14

Jeremy POV

"Land ahoy!" I shouted.

We were quickly approaching Polyphemus' island, the great flat piece of land that was covered by the pure white fleeces of Polyphemus' sheep. Ahead of us was one of the most dangerous locations on Earth, yet it seemed so calming. The clear blue sky and the leaf green grass that resembled a Windows XP desktop looked so inviting, it was hard to imagine the danger ahead, but all of us knew that the serene environment was stained with the blood of many demigods, slain by the worst Cyclops to ever grace this world.

"Everyone get on deck, we got work to do once we get there and we gotta split the workload," I told them.

"What is it now, Driver?" Clarisse said. Apparently, my dad's job and the name of the planet made her think that she's pretty much my boss. Admittedly, she is way more senior than me, but still…

"We're almost at the island. We have to split our duties and know who's going for the bronze and who's going for the sheep, or we might not have enough time," I replied, "I guess Percy and I will lead two teams?"

"Yeah, sure. Am I doing bronze or food?" Percy replied.

"Bronze."

"Okay. I want Kennedy and Cheryl. You can get Clarisse and Jenny."

"Cool." And thus we went off on our separate ways. I slowly led Clarisse and Jenny towards the cave, where the man-eating sheep resided, making sure that Polyphemus wasn't in the cave.

"Shhh…" I silenced them. We were approaching the man-eating sheep soon, and quickly. I told them our plan. "Clarisse, keep watch for Polyphemus. Jenny, you take the left, I'll take the right. Clarisse, just yell if you see him."

"On my count. 3. 2. 1. Go!" Jenny and I rushed towards the herd of sheep, our blades in hand, chopping the sheep up. "Ahh!" I heard Kennedy yell in the distance. Damn it. That stupid cyclops trying to make us its dinner.

"Jenny, Clarisse, let's go over there! We've got enough mutton for now!" I shouted to them, running over to the beach. "Oh, Kennedy, please be fine…" I thought to myself. Oh gods, what was going on?

Percy POV

"Ahh!" Kennedy yelled on the other side of the beach. Just as Apollo said. He's going to die. I didn't even try to stop it from happening. I just sent him to his death. Maybe I could have made him sick with the food. Maybe I could have killed Polyphemus before letting the others onto the island. Oh, my gods. Why. This can't be happening.

"KENNEDY!" I rushed towards him. Maybe I could still save him. Maybe.

I saw Polyphemus hanging Kennedy up high, with Kennedy's arms flailing around, unable to do anything to free himself.

"AHHH! YOUNG DEMIGOD MEAT!" I heard Polyphemus yell. Acting instinctively, I took out Annabeth's cap from my rucksack. She thought I might have needed it.

"YO! POLYPHEMUS!" I formed a stupid plan. Then again, I'm known for them…

"WHO DARES INTERRUPT MY FEEDING OF DEMIGODS?!"

"IT IS I, NOBODY!" As I said, a stupid plan.

"NOBODY! YOU RETURN!" He yelled, throwing down Kennedy. Ouch. Let's hope he's alright.

"YES! AND I'M HERE TO RID THIS WORLD OF YOU ONCE AND FOR ALL!" I saw Jeremy, Jenny and Clarisse run towards Polyphemus. They spotted Kennedy, running towards him. Good.

"AGHHHHHH!"

I climbed onto his back. "YO, UGLY! THIS WORLD'S GOT NINETY-NINE PROBLEMS AND YOU'RE NO LONGER ONE OF THEM!" Stupid, I know. He attempted to respond by thrashing around. I continued climbing, reaching his head. "NOBODY POKED YOUR EYE TWICE AND NOBODY'S GONNA POKE IT OUT AGAIN!" I did what I said I did. I poked his eye.

"AHHHHHHH! NOBODY, YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS!" I'm not going to say who said what. It's too obvious.

I climbed over a bit. "So this is his ear…" I thought to myself. I went in, yelling insults on the way. I went through the eardrum. Boy, was it gooey. "And this is the brain." I crawled down to the spinal cord, covered in what seemed like some kind of brain juice or something like that. Jeez, that brain is tiny. "3. 2. 1." I braced myself for impact as I sliced it clean apart. I felt myself falling. We were not close enough for the water for me to move it, and Cheryl was nowhere to be seen. Shoot. Even if she was nearby, I was invisible… I took off the cap and yelled. "AHHHHHHHHH!"

I landed on the ground with a thud. I saw Jeremy and the rest of the food crew rushing over, as well as Kennedy.

"Cheryl's on her way," said Kennedy, "come on, Percy, just hang on." Right… I sent her to the opposite side of the island. I heard voices coming from different directions. He sounded very worried. I hate how I'm being the target of all their woes right now. The prophecy already told them one will die. I calmed myself down, and, like the hero I was, I blacked out.

Jeremy POV

"Percy!" I ran over to him. "He's still got a pulse. Kennedy, where's Cheryl?"

"I sent an Iris Message her way. Cheryl's on her way, but she's on the opposite side of the island," Kennedy replied, "We got to get him water, and fast. He doesn't look like he'll last long." We heard Percy moan, waking up again after a short time being blacked out.

"Don't die on me, Prissy!" Clarisse shouted.

"I'm… I'm not g… going to ma… make it… One must die… Ap… Apollo s… said it was Ke… Kennedy. I… tried to s… save him…" He winced. "Cla… Clarissse. Get th… them to DOA. The… the bar… barter… S… sav…save A… Anna… Annabeth. T… tell h… her I… I'm s… s… sorry…" With that, he breathed his last.

The Hero of Olympus reduced to a dead body, saving a young demigod. The defeater of Kronos, defeated by a mere cyclops. I couldn't believe it. None of us could believe it. We were all in tears.

"What's the matter?" Cheryl finally arrived, just a few minutes too late.

"It… It's Pe… Percy… He's dead!" I cried.

"What?!" Cheryl immediately went over to the body. "Percy… No. No. This can't be true. Percy, wake up. Percy. Percy, please. Please. Wake up. No. No. This can't be happening. No. I can't believe it. I won't believe it. You aren't gone. Percy. Please. Percy. Please. Wake up." She was distraught, with her eye bawling out. "No. No. This isn't real."

I patted her on the back, still crying. "We knew one of us would die. All we can hope is that Hades lets him come back to us." We slowly stopped our tears.

"We should take his body. He needs a proper funeral at Olympus. He saved the world. Twice. On the other hand, we need to get going." Clarisse stood up. She got out a post-it, and wrote the address for Olympus on it. She threw down a drachma. The body disappeared. "He's in the gods' hands now. Come on, get up, and let's get going. Don't be as much of a Prissy as Prissy was."

AN: So, Percy's dead. Then again, some of us are already dead inside. I hated myself when I wrote this, but it was a necessary evil. On that happy note, have a great day!
